Default Re: Koni Sport adjustable shocks

If I wanted to soften the ride of my SRT-6 the first place I'd look would be a junk yard for a set of Base/Limited springs; they're pre-engineered for the car with the same height but not as stiff. Since you already have the Eibachs maybe someone can machine a couple of aluminum spacers for the front suspension. It's not uncommon for Fieros.

BTW, that's a nice wheel/height combo but the offset looks a bit "non-stock" (hard to tell from the angle). If so, bringing them in might help reduce any contact or rubbing problems as well.

If we had a McPherson Strut then that could be a yes. The Crossfire's ride height is determined by the springs, or incorrectly, the wheel diameter.
When I first made the 1/4" rubber spacer, it looked like a big flat washer, then I made one cut to the center hole. I then used a PITA spring compessor to compress the spring enough to insert it into the hole above the spring cup. It did pretty good at first, but the top of the spring cup was not a flat surface, the top was like a 1/4" ring. I think that it was sharp enough along with the weight of the car it kind of dented into the rubber, I may just make another pair & put them on top of the previous one's, or make a pair out of 1/2" rubber the same way. My front tire's are 245/35/18's and I had to use a 10mm hubcentrical spacer to get the center caps on the wheels, but I kind of like the meat hanging out look.
